Day 31 - Happy National Day, China!
Happy National Day, China! 60th birthday.
Whole day was just slacking in hostel. Watch part of the marching parade in the morning and went for lunch. The school is really empty due to the fact that today is a holiday. We decided to play Captain's Ball in the afternoon. It was fun, with all sorts of stuns we do.
Didn't managed to go out to town as we were afraid that it will be very packed and difficult to get our way through.
Went out for dinner and can tell that the streets are quite empty.
Reflections
Their national day marching parade is very grand. Their marching standards is really very high, everybody is very synchronised. Even the tanks passing through the parade is aligned straightly! It's really different to the national parades you see in Singapore. You can feel the pride in them that they are very proud of their country.
One thing I noticed here in China is that, they are quite humble at times. When we say "Thank you", they will just reply "You're welcome!" or "It's okay, you don't have to thank us" in Chinese.
